Sun and Moon Mountain.
Li Chengqian was not idle either.
Since we are planning to Tuyuhun, we must make the most complete preparations.
The first point is to solve the problems that ordinary people depend on for their survival.
At this moment, he was discussing with Pu Xiluo, Yi Yuanxi and others in the side hall of Daming Palace.
The layout of the side hall is similar to the original royal tent.
There was a long table, with everyone sitting on both sides, and Li Chengqian sitting at the top.
"How many jobs have the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs provided to the people in total?" Li Chengqian asked.
Pu Xiruo heard this and said: "The Ministry of Revenue has opened workshops in various cities, providing a total of more than 26,000 jobs."
"There are more people here at the Ministry of Industry, but they only cost over 50,000," Ihara Seiya said.
When it comes to this, both of them are quite helpless. They also want to provide more, but the stall of the Ming Dynasty Royal Court is so big, and sometimes they have no choice.
Take the Ministry of Industry as an example. Yi Yuanxi would like to come up with a few more projects, but it’s freezing today and the projects that can be done are really limited. You don’t want to bring them here to support them, right? This is different from direct relief.
What's the difference between them?
"This is only more than 70,000 positions." Li Chengqian said, "Now the Ming Dynasty has more than 300,000 people, plus tens of thousands of people in the army, which means there are still more than 200,000 people with nothing to do.
There may be at least 100,000 children and elderly people here, but even so, there are still 100,000 people idle."
"It should be no problem to survive this winter." Puxiruo said, "When recruiting workers before, Wei Chen and Yi Shangshu also discussed it specifically. Regardless of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, each household has only one quota, just to allow everyone to
Every household can get at least one job.
After completing the first round of recruitment, we divided the population according to the population of each household in the second round.
Priority is given to recruiting workers from households with more than ten people in a single household to ensure that everyone can survive this winter.
For now, it’s pretty stable, and at least every household is making money.”
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs have done a good job in this matter, and they should be commended."
Li Chengqian is still very satisfied with the recent performance of Pu Xiruo and Yi Yuanxi.
Needless to say, this kind of stepped recruitment does reflect their serious attitude towards work, and it also effectively ensures that the policies promoted by Li Chengqian can be better implemented.
At this point, Li Chengqian changed the topic and said: "But it's still not enough. The sense of crisis caused by so many years of snow disasters has long been ingrained in the hearts of the people. Although they can support their families for the time being, they still lack a sense of security.
After all, they have no ability to withstand disasters.
In this way, various cities began to prepare for the establishment of yamen.
Except for the county magistrate, all personnel are selected locally to provide jobs for the people as much as possible.
Pu Shangshu, Li Shilang."
"I'm here," Pu Xiruo and Li Qinjian immediately stood up and responded.
"Your Ministry of Household Affairs immediately issued a notice in the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs, informing all merchants that in the future, certain commodities produced in each city will only be sold in this city and will no longer be transported to Riyue Mountain.
Don't worry that they won't be tempted, those merchants are all smart people, and they know the interests of the first batch of merchants in a city.
Nowadays, even the smallest border town has a population of tens of thousands, and the population of tens of thousands is the market.
For businessmen, they will not give up such business opportunities.
In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs should also encourage our own subjects of the Ming Dynasty to engage in business. In a market with more than 10,000 people, there is always some business to be done. No matter how much or how little you make, even if you are a rich man, there is still hope.
At the same time, I will also start arranging the young army to recruit in various cities, and share as much as I can with them.
Only in this way will they truly be full of hope.
Winter is still too scary for them."
"Wei Chen takes orders." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, the two of them said in unison.
After some further discussion, everyone left.
The imperial court of the Ming Dynasty had a lot to do, but no matter how much or how little, there was always something to do and it couldn't be avoided.
Just when Li Chengqian was thinking about things, Changle stood outside the door with his head raised. When Li Chengqian saw this, he smiled and said, "You're not busy, come in if you want."
Upon hearing what Li Chengqian said, Changle immediately picked up a food box and got in with Wu Mei and Zhang Xiaohua.
Since moving to the new palace, Changle has come to bring food to Li Chengqian almost every day, which makes the little guy extremely happy.
But when Li Chengqian saw the food box, he was a little speechless: "It's not pheasant meat again, is it?"
"Yes." Changle said matter-of-factly.
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
I don’t know where the little guy got so many pheasants. Recently, he has almost one pheasant a day.
He was tired of eating roasted, stewed, and soup...
"It's stir-fried today, it's very fragrant, please try it, brother." Chang Le and Wu Mei said as they opened the food box and took out a plate of fragrant-smelling stir-fried pheasant meat.
When Li Chengqian heard what she said, he almost went crazy.
What did you say?
Stir-fried?
That's not as good as roasting, stewing, or making soup!
Pheasant meat, can it be chewed after being stir-fried...
If you have good teeth, you can't be bullied like this, right?
"No, where did you get so many pheasants?" Li Chengqian was a little curious.
Changle smiled and said, "I got it from brother Yiai."
"Second Fang is so kind, helping you hunt pheasants every day? Does he want you to help him steal wine again?" Li Chengqian was speechless. There is nothing to say about hunting. The key is, can you do something to fix it?
"That's not true." Chang Le said, "Brother Yiai raised a little leopard in the hunting ground before, and everyone liked to see it. Then many people came to Yiai to ask for pheasants to feed the little leopard.
In the end, brother Yiai simply sold pheasants in the hunting ground for twenty cents each, and many people bought them."
Li Chengqian was speechless when he heard what Chang Le said. The second son of the house actually started doing business.
But I have to say that this guy still has some business acumen.
At twenty cents a piece, although it is extremely cheap, the key point is that this money is almost free.
Doesn’t it mean he doesn’t have to feed him if others don’t buy it?
And the price positioning is also particular.
Except for a very few of the children in the school, most of them are from relatively wealthy families.
After all, they were the first ones to follow Li Chengqian to conquer the world. After such a long time, the family naturally accumulated some wealth, and some of the children's parents were even officials of the Ming Dynasty.
So they still have some pocket money on weekdays, and twenty pennies is really enough for them to scrape together.
The key is that in the market, twenty cents is estimated to be enough to buy a chicken leg, so this price difference immediately made them ignore many problems.
"You went to buy it too?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Changle said matter-of-factly: "Yes, I still have a lot to do. Unfortunately, my brother Yiai only sells three of them every day, and I have to go to breakfast every day to get them."
Li Chengqian patted the little guy's head but also lowered his head and smiled.
The pheasants worth twenty cents each are for you to feed to the little leopards. It would be better for you to take them home directly. If the second-in-law of the house finds out, he will probably vomit blood.
"Where are Murong Wanqiu and the others?" Li Chengqian asked, shaking his head.
"Sister Wanqiu, Sister Hou, and Sister Linna went hunting." Changle said, "Since the winter vacation in school, they have gone hunting often.
I heard that Sister Linna and Sister Wanqiu are competing, and Sister Hou probably just came to watch the fun."
Since the beginning of winter, Li Chengqian has put the school on holiday. Firstly, it is too cold, and secondly, he has to compile and edit dictionaries, and people like Chen Sheng don't have the time.
Changle was interested in it at first, but later he didn't want to do it. Wei Shuyu, on the other hand, worked with Chen Sheng and others to edit the dictionary every day.
Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this. He didn't want to deal with this matter, or it was not easy to deal with it.
"Put the food here, I'll eat it later, and you go play first." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
As soon as Changle heard this, he immediately ran away with his people.
She just didn't want to waste food, so she sent the pheasant meat to Li Chengqian. All she wanted was the feathers.
After they left, Li Chengqian looked at the fried pheasant meat and shook his head helplessly, saying: "Take it down, whoever has good teeth can give it a try."
He wasn't going to try. His teeth were even a little weak and he couldn't handle this thing.
Chunhua also pursed her lips and snickered behind her, but she quickly cleared the table.
